On October 26, 2022, Statistics Canada published the sixth round of the Census data report, announcing that immigrants made up almost a fourth of the Canadian population, which is the largest share in over 150 years.

Statistics show that as of 2021, 8.3 million people in Canada were landed immigrants or permanent residents, which is about 23% of the population.

This number has increased since Confederation and is currently the highest among all G7 countries.

As the Canadian population ages and fertility levels are below the population replacement level, immigration becomes Canada's primary driver for population growth.
